The honse owned by Clifford Ri

months, was entered one night last
week and 16 pounds of salt pork was
taken from the cellar which, however,
was found near the house the next
morning, as also was hat belonging
to the person who committed the dep
relation. Entrance to the house was
gained by way of a back window
which was broken, sash and all for
the purpose. Appearances indicated
that it was not the first time the house
had been so entered, as things were
considerably disarranged and several
gallons of cider (wine) was missing
